Fair values

The following table sets out the fair value of the financial instruments held as at 31 December 2016. The fair value of listed government paper and interest-bearing securities is the market value. The fair value of unlisted government paper and interest-bearing securities is public quoted information if available or nominal value. The fair value of banks, loans, funds entrusted with a fixed interest term and the subordinated loan has been determined by calculating the net present value of expected interest and redemption cashflows, taken into account market interest rates as at the end of the year. The fair value of the loans includes floating rate UK business banking loans, for which the interest percentage contains a floor. For these loans the fair value is determined by calculating the present value of the contractual cash flows of the loan (based on forward rates) plus the present value of the expected cash flows of the floor, assuming interest rates develop accordingly to the forward curve. Therefore, the time value of the embedded derivative (the interest rate floors) is ignored. An assumed prepayment rate of 5% is also included. We did not include a term structure in the spread. Including the time value of the floors would result in a loan valuation EUR 9.2 million higher. The fair value of the other items is assumed to be equal to the balance sheet value.

The fair value of the remaining assets also includes the deferred tax item. The premium and discount for the government paper and interest-bearing securities has been included in the balance sheet value of respectively government paper and interest-bearing securities.

The fair value is negatively impacted by the tax effect of all fair value adjustments which has been posted as other.

The estimated fair values provided by financial institutions are considered not to be comparable on an individual basis, due to the differences in valuation methods applied and the use of estimates in these valuations. The lack of an objective method of valuation means that estimated fair values are subjective in respect of the expected maturity and interest rates used.
